A lot of bloggers have been looking up to find motives in the sky for publishing posts this Friday. Between the clouds in variations of colors and the empty blue or black sky behind, many beautiful objects are worth more focus, and at least I am very interested in what I can find at walls.
My first photo covers a section of the oval walls in the music pavilion inside the Grand Bath at Montecatini Terme, a spa town in
Tuscany,
Italy. The first baths were built here in 1540, but was destroyed fifteen years later. Recovering started from the 18th century, when the first bath resorts were built. In the 20th century it became one of the most renowned health resorts in Italy,and one who took rest in Montecatini was
Giuseppe Verdi,
Not far from Montecatini Terme to the west, we find the small town
Lucca. Lucca was founded by the
Etruscans (there are traces of a pre-existing
Ligurian settlement) and became a
Roman colony in 180 BC. Lucca is the
birthplace of
composer Giacomo Puccini (
La bohème and
Madama Butterfly), and the composer´s statue is located below this church wall.
Going further west, over the Mediterranean Sea and to the center of the Iberian peninsula, you reach the capital of Spain. This houses, at the entrance to the
La Latina (a neighbourhood in the very city centre of
Madrid.) are covered with interesting paintings. La Latina occupies the place of the oldest area in Madrid, the
Islamic citadel inside the
city walls, with narrow streets and large squares.
From Madrid, to the south-west and Andalusia, you come to the city
Seville where wall paintings can give you great experiences. Seville is more than 2,000 years old and have a mix of cultural expressions. The tiles on this photo are at the wall of the entrance of the restaurant
Meson de la Infanta 
In Portugal and Lisbon, the tiles are usualy more blue and white, often showing heroic scenes. This one is made to pay tribute to Saint Valentine, a martyr in the Roman province of
Africa.

Thanks for sharing all this beauty
Utrolig bra tolkning av bokstaven Arne!! Det er utrolig hvordan det med ett blir så åpenbart når man får det presentert du .-))
Nydelige veggdekorasjoner du har vist også her da, virkelige prydsmykker som sikkert har tatt en evighet å lage. Det gjelder å ha øyenen med seg når man drar rundt på turer, det skal være sikkert og visst.
D, ja, at man ikke tenkte på diabetes du, men en har vel det så mye i hjernen ellers på jobb, at detr er morsomt å bruke noe annet også. Morsom flott link di sendte meg da, leste hele den, og den legen!!! ja, han skulle vært headhuntet!!!!!! `Min`, den gamle dansken, altså en av de legene som har diabetesansvar hos oss for tiden, kunne jeg personlig ha rodd over Skagerak du!! bare forå raskest mulig ha blitt kvitt udyret. Eier ikke pedagogisk sans og pasientene `jager` han på en måte bort fra sykehuset med sin væremåte og sine uttalelser.
Ukompetent idiot, bare en ting å si om den saken.
Nå har helga freden senket seg over sykesøsteren og hun har fått noe varmende i glasset. kjølelskap er fylt med ting som sikkert på sikt vil i oss diabetes også :-)
God helg hilden til deg herfra, og så blogges vi vel i morgen tenker jeg.
hils fruen
Flotte dekorative vegger hos deg i dag. Tenk å kunne male slik:)
Jeg er derimot usikker på om dette er et SWF elle ABC innlegg eller begge deler?
Du verden for noen flotte mosaikker og veggmalerier du viser oss her.
Det er stor kunst - bokstavlig og billedlig - de gamle kunstnerne har gitt oss!
